Philosophy: 

"My role as an educator is to provide all students with the 21st Century skills needed to become successful as they progress through middle school to high school. I want all students to be independent thinkers, problem solvers, and proactively work together as teammates. I look forward to being able to practice my faith at St. John's Lutheran School while helping all students become more Christ-like."  

"A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another." - John 13:34-35
